Could have been worse......In all seriousness I know that we cannot keep up with the twin engine boats off the start or any straight so I started pushing into the turns very tight, like F1 Boats. To keep the rpm's I was over trimming the motor while existing, once the rpm's built up I would slowly tuck the motor back in. .
I than started "cheating"... I started over trimming a little sooner, just before the exist. Than in the middle of the turn, than at the apex of the turn.. we just sliding the boat out a little as we would exist. felt like we had ice under flat tires driving down the expressway.. I knew what we had been doing was "on the edge" but in the heat of the moment I keep doing it till this happened...
After we re started and did another lap I started doing it again, but not until we had existed the turn.
The little boat held up with no issue.. We never stalled.. just tucked the drive in, pointed her in the right direction and took off after Simmons Racing. After the race we gave her a quick inspection and found no cracks, no paint chips, no lamination separation and no GoPro :picard1:
